Mice or birds would be even better since they've done it once before

Great buys!

wow!! Looks great!! I was walking down the travel asile at Walmart today and thought to myself how much I LOVE Target's travel asile and Walmarts no so much. I'll be doing my traveling buying at Target as well!!!

Good luck with the dress, can't wait to see it!

Buying all that stuff felt so good!!!! I can't believe we are so close to the trip

I'll update once I start working on the dress, but you'll have to wait for my trip report for the finished product

I love shopping for travel-sized things!

Everything looks great, can't wait to see the dress in your TR!

I received my magical express papers today - woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!! That just lets me know how close my trip is and I have to call Disney because our flights home changed to completely different flights. We actually leave at 8:00am instead of 7:30am now - and I'll take every minute of sleep I can!

So I called WDW dining for two reasons, the first was to ask again about the CRT ressie. I don't know if I brought this up before. I made the ADR online and had it linked to my ressie with the dining plan, but it still charged my CC instead of just using it as a gaurantee. I called that day and the CM told me just to let them know when we check in for our lunch and they will credit our CC and put it on the dining plan. I decided I'd call again and make sure they couldn't do that now. The CM I got said she could try and see if there was availability at the time of our ressie (yeah right ) and if so rebook it under the dining plan and then cancel the old one. Of course, there was no availablity - so we weren't going to take the chance of cancelling and rebooking She confirmed that I just tell them at the podium. I asked if I needed some sort of proof that I paid and she said the will have that info - I just need to make sure to be the one (since my name is on the ressie) to do it, and have the same card and ID. So it stinks that that money is stuck with Disney for 3 months, but I guess it could have been worse and been 6 months. I wish the CM I talked to back in July would have offered to rebook it - we probably could have then. While I had her on the phone I had her cancel the Garden Grill ressie I had made - we are going to stick with Chef Mickey's. Then I had her transfer me to the reservation line. Our flight home was completely changed, so I gave them the new info. I don't know how big of a deal that is, since we check out bags - but since I was on the line anyway I figured it couldn't hurt

Well that stinks, but at least you have your ADR. I hope it doesn't get all confused.

I love it!! I love that travel isle!

So now, I have to get started on transforming that princess dress into Cinderella's pink dress. I have the matierals purchased, but haven't started at all

I can't wait to see the finished product!

There is just something about buying all that little stuff that makes the trip seem so close!

Thanks! I should give credit though - I got the countdown calender off of a thread here on the DIs - I didn't create it myself. Here's the thread:

I was just going back and trying to figure out where is was in my planning and I'm only on day 2 - I better get cracking I had a fun morning a friend of mine and her family are taking their first trip to DW the same week we are going, so we met for coffee to talk Disney She has never been there, but she is doing a great job of planning her trip - I think they'll have a great time They are staying at POP as well, so it will be interesting to see if we run into each other.

The weather has turned here now, so I think I'll get out the suitcase and start putting the warm weather clothes in it - I normally don't like it when it starts to get cold - but this year is the exception

So I think I left off with DTD and BBB - getting Maddie made up, getting pictures, then food. From there we will go to MK, I'm not sure which bus to take - what is the last resort on the loop before MK? I'm thinking that one. I know we could go to the Contemporary and then walk, but I want to conserve our energy - but I don't want to take forever to get there either. Any advice is appreciated

For the party, my main goal is parade, fireworks, a little trick or treating, dance parties and a picture of Maddie with Snow White and the 7 dwarves, since she will be dressed as Snow White. I figure we won't be in the park until 5:30 or so, but we will have eaten, so we can ride a few rides before the party officially starts and then I want to try and get the Snow White picture done. We have watched the parade from Liberty Square in the past and then when it's done, we just moved to the hub for Hallowishes. It's a good time to get a snack and watch the Villans Mix and Mingle. After that we'll hit the dance parties, some more trick or treating and maybe a few rides - but those are just a bonus. It's mostly about soaking up the atmosphere for us We will for sure go to the Haunted Mansion to see the characters (I think there is Madame Leota sitting on a bench) and I also think you can get a picture where a Ghost host is sitting on the carriage. Two years ago we made it to the end of the party, so I'm hoping to do the same this time around. We'll play it by ear though and not push DD too far.

A few MNSSHP pictures from 2005 - our first party :

So you will be going to the MK from Downtown Disney? When we were there we ended up just taking the bus to the Contemporary. If there was a direct bus to the MK we didn't see it. So maybe that would be your best bet?
